Spezza had 30 points in 29 games for Switzerland's Rapperswil-Jona. He was part of Canada's Spengler Cup-winning team since Dec. 23.

Rapperswil-Jona announced Spezza's decision on its website and thanked the All-Star for his contributions. He also said they'd "certainly be talking to each other again" if the work stoppage isn't resolved.

Talbot, meanwhile, is finished with his Finnish team. He had six points in 12 games with Ilves of the SM-Liga and is also interested in returning to the team if the season is canceled, according to Matias Strozyk of Elite Prospects.

Quick had an inflammatory cyst and disc fragment repaired in August. As noted by Pro Hockey Talk, the Kings initially pegged Quick's recovery time at six weeks. The 26-year-old signed a 10-year, $58 million contract after an outstanding regular season (1.95 goals-against average, .929 save percentage) and Cup run (1.41, .946).
